U12 SPRING LEAGUE FINAL
The spring league finals took place in Cloghan on Monday afternoon in very wet and windy conditions. Magheracloone played Monaghan Harps in their final. The weather played a big role in this game as Magheracloone played against a very strong breeze in the first half. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be on the day. Well done to each and every child who took part we are all looking forward to seeing you play in the upcoming weeks. Thank you to Mentors, Martin McConnon, Gary Byrne, Francie Fox and Eamon McKeown.
